ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A filter for air circulators including a layer of activated charcoal or similar carbon material received between a substantially planar screen of mesh material and a corrugated screen of mesh material forming the charcoal or carbon into a plurality of areas having triangular configuration with the areas being the same size and shape. This configuration of the carbon in the filter is obtained by attaching the periphery and alternate crests of the corrugated screen together into a single unitary construction. The filter also includes a frame having an inwardly extending flange on the air inlet surface of the filter with the flange being spaced from the crests of the corrugated screen remote from the planar screen to receive and mount a flexible first stage filter or prefilter of cellular material such as flexible foam rubber, foam plastic or the like so that the foam prefilter will be positioned against the crests of the corrugated screen to remove particulate material such as dust, lint, pollen or the like from the incoming air with the periphery of the foam material underlying the flange to enable it to be easily removed for cleaning by holding under running water, immersing in water or the like and installing it by reinserting the peripheral edge of the foam prefilter under the peripheral flange on the frame of the filter.

2 a flange and a lateral outwardly extending flange. ~ pair of screens having peripheral portions are connected ~o the frame at the other end edge of the shank to form an enclosure with the main portions of the screens being spaced apart to form a space, one screen being flat and the other screen being corrugated with alternate crests being disposed upstream and downstream of the airflow. A layer of activated car~on fills the space between the screens with the carbon conforming with the corrugations to increase the surface area exposed to the airflow. The corrugated screen have the downstream crests adjacent the flat screen, and the corrugated screen has V-shaped corrugations to define a plurality of areas filled with filter material of triangular across sectional configuration with the apexes upstream, thereby providing a filter with the thinnest areas of the filter being located adjacent the ~lat screen. The inwardly extending flange on the frame is spaced from the upstream crests of the corrugated screen. ~ prefilter in the form of a panel of flexible, resilient foam plastic material engages the upstream crests of the corrugated screen remote from the flat screen with the periphery of the resilient panel being inserted under the inwardly extending flange on the frame to prefilter air entering the airflow passage prior to it entering the activated carbon with the inwardly extending flange retaining the prefilter panel in place and the flexibility of the foam plastic enabling the prefilter panel to be removed so that particulate material removed from the air by the prefilter panel can be e~5ily washed from the foam material by holding it under runninc3 water or s~ueeziny it while îmmersed in water or other cleaning solution. The triangular areas of activated car~on provide a maximum rn/

Referring now specifi~ally to the drawings, the filter oE the present invention is ~enerally designated by the reference numeral 10 and i~ illustrated in combination with an air circulator generally designated by the numeral 12 that is mounted in the corner area 14 of a room or other enclosure with the filter 10 being disposed in either or both the bottom and top of the air cir-culator 12 80 that air entering the air circulator 12 will pass through the f,ilter 10 and be discharged through the side discharge outlets 16 or the like.
This type of air circulator 12 i8 similar to that disclosed in my patent No.
4,370,155, issued January 25, 1983. It is pointed out that the filter 10 may be used with both types of air circulators disclosed in that patent and may also be used with other types of air circulators by altering the plan con-Eiguration, size and shape of the filter to conform with the ai~e and shape of the inlet opening for the air circulator 12.
The filter 10 includes a prefilter or first stage filter generally designated by the numeral 18 which is con~Ttructed of a relatively thin layer of Plexible, resilient foam material such a~T foam plastic, foaTn rubber or the like and a carbon rQain filter or finsl stage filter generally designated by the numeral 20 which iB located inwardly of the prefilter 18 80 that air wlll first pass through tha prefilter 18 and then through the main filter 20 as indicated in Figure 3.
The filter 10 includes a peripheral frame 22 and including a periph-eral frame member 24 which telescopes into and is closely received in an air inlet opening 26 in the housing 28 of the air circulator 12. The ou~er edga of the frame member 24 is provided with e peripheral flange 30 extending }aterally outwardly and adapted to engage the ou~er ~urface of the housing 28 adjacent the opening 26 with .uitable mounting screws or other fastening ...... ..
~2~7~3s;~
means extending through the flange 30 and into the flange which defines the opening 26 to removably secure the filter 10 in place. If the housing and filter frame arc constructed of plastic material, fasteners may be omitted and a friction fit or a snap fit may be provided to removably retain the filter 10 in the inlet opening 26 of the air circulator 12. The frame member 24 also include~ a peripheral inwardly extending flange 32 which overlies, engages and retainH a thin panel of foam material 34 which forms the prefilter 18 with the foam material 34 being flexible, resi1ient and cellular in con-truction and may be in the form of foam rubber, foam plastic or the like 80 that by pulli~g the edges of the panel 34 out from under the flange 32, the prefilter 18 may be easily removed for cleaning by holding it under running water, immersing in water and agitating or the like and the prefilter 18 may then be reassembled with the periphery under the flange 32 in a quick and easy manner.
The main filter 20 includes a flat or planar sc.reen 36 of me~h material having the periphery thereof secured to the inner edge of the frame me~ber 24 as at 38 in Figure 5. Inwardly of the screen 36 is a corrugated screen 40 having V-shaped corrugations therein defining alternate inner cre~t 42 and alternate outer crestA 44 with the inner crests being engaged with and secured to the inner surface of the screen 36 and the outer cre~t~ 44 being engaged with and supporting khe prefilter 18 as illustrated in the Figure 4 thereby defining a plurality of triangular-shaped areas 46 between the corru-gated screen 40 and the prefilter 18 and triangular-shaped areas 48 between the screen 40 and the screen 36. The area~ 48 are filled with porous carbon materials 50 such as activated charcoal with the carbon material being formed into areas with a triangular cross-sectional configurat;on with the apex of such material being located at the crests 44 disposed adjacent and in engage-ment with the prefilter 18 whereas the base of the triangular cros~-sectional area is located at the screen 36. As illustrated in Figure 5, the corrugated 30 screen 40 ha~ the peripheral edge secured to the frame member 24 as at 52 and 7~
the crests 42 are sec~red to the screen 36 along the lines indicated by numeral 54 in Figure 3. ~y constructing the frame 22 and screen members 36 and 40 from plastic material, the screens 36 and 40 may be attached to each other and con-:~ nected to the frame member 24 by a plaYtic welding or bonding technique with these components being easily constructed by using an injection molding tech-nique.
As illustrated, the flange 32 is spaced from the crests 44 of the screen 40 a distance substantially equal to the thickness of the prefilter 18 as illustrated in Figure 4 80 that the crests 44 of the screen 40 will en2age and support the prefilter 18 and prevent it from being drawn in~o the void trianglllar areaa 46. The periphery of the flexible foam panel 34 can be pulled inwardly by following various procedures such as by grasping the center portion of the panel 34 and pulling it outwardly and when reinstall-ing the foam panel 34 the peripheral edges are merely tucked under the flange 32. As indicated, the plan configuration as illustrated in Figure 3 may be altered to any shape conforming to the shape of the inlet opening 26 in the air circulator housing 28. As air enters the filter, the prefilter 18 will remove particulate material such as dust, lint, pollen and the like entrailed in the air. As air enters the main filter 20, it ~ill scrub across the carbon material 50 as it moves in the void area 46 to tlle area where the crests 4 join the screen 36 thereby reducing the static pressure by increasing the surface area through which the alr flows a~ compared to a flat carbon filter panel.
